The great lich/necromancer’s attacks have disrupted Equestrian society at all levels. Many a ponies dreams and futures have been crushed under the hooves of the lich’s undead armies.
Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were visiting Neighpoles when the war broke out. Unable to return to Ponyville the two mares found themselves struggling to survive in a city that is on the front lines of the war. As a result the the mares have developed several creative ways to survive. Some have been legit. Others have been less so.
Sweetie Belle has become something of femme-fatale/assassin. Using a wide rank of skills to allure, seduce, and manipulate targets; her and Scootaloo have waged own private war against those who would profit from aiding the enemy.
